Reviews

With two historical house museums to work in there are numerous ways to volunteer. Either inside or outside in the gardens/grounds. This Historical Society is run by all volunteers. There are no paid folks. Come and join the fun. Be a docent on tour days, catalog artifacts, help make exhibits, write for grants, file, etc. Everyone here are super friendly and helpful.
